Hi Kyle,

you can check the below the link to get the DFU firmware which support DFU,I2C and Uart.

https://github.com/Infineon/mtb-example-pmg1-dfu-bootloader

Please change the TRANSPORT_OPT in the makefile according to your application and the details will be found in the link.

 

Thanks & Regards

Hi Kyle,

  Thank you for posting in infineon community.

 We dont have any software utility  to program PD firmware in PMG1 series , but we have EZ-PD configurator in Modus toolbox which help you to configure PD through GUI and program the updated PD through modustool box itself.

 

you can also use Cypress programmer to program PMG1 ICs through SWD pins.

 

Thank you,

Hi Mohamed,

After mass production, it should have a utility or command line tool, that can be used to update PD firmware by USB 2.0 .  Where can I get it from?

Hi Kyle,

you can use ModusToolbox -> Device Firmware Update Tool for the program.

please refer the section 4 in the below link 

https://www.infineon.com/dgdl/Infineon-ModusToolbox_DFU_Host_Tool_1.60_User_Guide-UserManual-v01_00-...

 

and also You can use Cypress Programmer to load the Firmware file to the ICs. 

 

Thank you,

Hi Mohamed,

After mass production,  it is not workable for a end user to remove dock case and use a Cypress programmer to update PD firmware. What is solution for PMG1-S3?

Hi Mohamed,

I am looking for a utility on host side, instead of a bootloader on device side.

I wonder if you get my point or not.

In previous dock project, there is utility like the attached picture to update PD FW by USB 2.0.

Is there such tool for PMG1-S3?

Hi Kyle,

Please go through the link completely which i have shared in the previous response.

You have to flash the DFU USB firmware for the very first time in every IC since it is not supported USB based DFU by default, then you can update the firmware through USB using DFU Host tool which is all mentioned in the link.

You can find the DFU Host tool in Modus ToolBox. kindly check the image.

Hi Mohamed,

Let’s re-confirm the update tool for PMG1-S3.

  1. The firmware need to use DFU (aka bootloader) to support CLI firmware update.
  2. Use DFU host tool 1.60 to update PMG1-S3 firmware. (CLI: dfuh-cli.exe, GUI: dfuh-tool.exe)

Is it correct?

Question:

  1. Only support .cyacd2 file, not .bin file? (We use .bin file on TBT4 dock project.)
  2. We plan to use USB-CDC, is there any problem about this? Or any recommend from your side?

Regards,

Kyle

Hi Kyle,

Yes, we need to use DFU(aka bootloader) to support CLI firmware tool

yes, we have to use DFU host tool.

 

  1. Only support .cyacd2 file, not .bin file? (We use .bin file on TBT4 dock project.)

       ans : Yes it will support only .cyacd2 file. 

       2. We plan to use USB-CDC, is there any problem about this? Or any recommend from your side?

      ans : yes, you can use after flashing the DFU firmware as USB.

are you developing TBT4 DOCK system using PMG1-S3? if yes please provide me the version and name detail, so that i will help you from the Dock side instead of generic PMG1 controller side.

 

Thanks & Regards,

Mohamed Rahmathulla
